Earlier today, before the meeting, Martin temporarily blocked off access to the site as a statement of intent. He said if talks with Suffolk Police were not successful he would return to the site to block off the entrance with his motorhome.

A Suffolk Constabulary spokesman said: “We reiterate that although it is not a criminal investigation, our work to locate Corrie remains on-going. This will include work to search preserved waste that was incinerated to see if this will establish if there are any further clues as to what happened to Corrie.

“This incinerated waste will be subject to examination and where necessary forensic analysis in the coming weeks.”

Police conducted the painstaking search for 20 weeks, sifting through more than 6,000 tons of rubbish in a bid to uncover Corrie's remains, but called off the search on Friday after they said they found "no trace" of the missing 23-year-old.

The spokesman said: “The search for Corrie remains a live and active investigation as we all remain committed to finding him.

“We have exhausted the search as to where Corrie is mostly likely to be at the landfill site at Milton, although we acknowledge and understand the frustration that Corrie’s family, friends and many supporters feel in relation to this.

“We will now take time to pause and reflect where we are with the investigation and will continue to carefully review it as we have done from the outset.

“With this in mind while we no longer have an operational presence at the site at Milton, the police have agreed with the company that run the site to leave cell 22 in its current state and will not be using it for the deposition of waste until the review is concluded.”

Picture shows the police as they continue the search for missing RAF serviceman Corrie McKeague at Milton landfill site on Wednesday, March 15.

Today (July 24) police confirmed that an external review of the investigation will take place.

The spokesman added: “We will now commission an external police force to carry out an independent review of the investigation.

“The identity of the force that will conduct this is still to be established as we are eager to ensure that it is a force that satisfies the need for complete transparency and independence.

“We are confident this will be a forensic, detailed and impartial review that will leave no stone unturned. If this review establishes further lines of enquiry we will pursue them.”
